According to Titans coach Mike Munchak, Kenny Britt (ankle) is "not doing as much as the team had hoped."

Britt sat out his second straight practice Thursday. Britt admitted Wednesday he was "just easing (the ankle) in right now," and beat writer Jim Wyatt believes things do not "sound good about his chances of playing on Sunday." Owners need to be making other plans.

Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, Timmons will be active this week against the Saints. Timmons skipped the Dolphins' first game and was suspended for the second. With Mike Hull predictably struggling mightily in Timmons' place, the Dolphins should gladly welcome Timmons back, though it's not clear where his head is at.

Chris Johnson will remain the Cardinals' starting running back for Week 4.

Johnson carried the mail on early downs against the Cowboys, but was ineffective. He was out-snapped and out-gained by Andre Ellington. Coach Bruce Arians decided Johnson was "rusty," and will get another chance against the 49ers. Kerwynn Williams is the other option between the tackles.

Ex-Browns and Colts RB Trent Richardson has signed with the CFL's Saskatchewan Roughriders.

Richardson is going beyond the wall for his return to pro football. Richardson was originally supposed to sign with the Roughriders last month, but the deal fell through after he attempted another NFL comeback. Richardson hasn't appeared in an NFL game since 2014. Regina, Saskatchewan, where the Roughriders are located, is 1,337 miles from Indianapolis.

It's a step in the right direction after Bakhtiari got in three DNPs last week. The Pack may still just be trying to move Bakhtiari along for Week 4, but are thin along their offensive line right now. Fill-in LT Kyle Murphy (foot) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday. Bakhtiari hasn't played since Week 1.

Cobb will likely be "limited," but is trending in the right direction for Thursday Night Football after he didn't practice in Week 3. With his health a question mark, Cobb will be a WR3 if he does indeed suit up against the Bears.

Eagles OC Frank Reich says there's "no doubt" Wendell Smallwood will be in for an increased role in Darren Sproles' absence.

Reich is just confirming the obvious, but it's good to hear it from the horse's mouth. Smallwood soundly out-snapped LeGarrette Blount against the Giants, and out-touched him, too. Blount should take the lead on early downs for the time being, but Smallwood is shaping up as the preferred fantasy own/play. He will monopolize third downs and mix in between the tackles.

Harrison Butker was signed off the Panthers' practice squad as a replacement. It is not clear what injury Santos is dealing with, but he missed time in training camp with a groin issue. It is possible he is brought back later in the season.

John Brown (quad) worked out before the Cardinals' game on Monday night.

Brown was not able to practice at all last week, so this is at least a step in the correct direction. That said, there does not seem to be much hope for a quick return, and Brown has struggled to stay healthy over the last year. He is nothing more than a hopeful bench stash for fantasy.

Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio reports there is "no end in sight" for Texans LT Duane Brown's holdout.

Brown will have to show up around Week 8 to make sure his contract does not toll, but it does not look like he is planning to end his holdout before then. The Texans also are not interested in playing ball and have not had any negotiations with the left tackle since the holdout began. At this point, a trade may be the best outcome for both sides.

Redskins coach Jay Gruden said he is not going to give Chris Thompson more touches.

"He's going to keep pushing me for them, but he's not going to get them," Gruden said. The back is averaging a ridiculous 13 yards per touch so far this season, but the coach wants to make sure Thompson, who has a long injury history, stays on the field for 16 games. That said, it will be impossible to keep him out of the lineup if he continues to produce like he has the first three weeks.
